DNA Cleavage by 4-Alkynyl-3-methoxy-4-hydroxycyclobutenones
摘要:
4-Alkynyl-3-methoxy-4-hydroxycyclobutenones, a readily available class of compounds, cleave supercoiled DNA by a mechanism that appears to require at least some involvement of diradical intermediates formed in the ring expansion of the cyclobutenones.

ring closure to provide butenolide products. This transformation is envisaged to involve a stereoselective disrotatory electrocyclic ring opening to the corresponding conjugated ketene in which the C4 hydroxyl group rotates inward towards the ketene moiety. Intramolecular trapping of the ketene moiety with the proximal hydroxyl group results in the corresponding butenolide products.

Thermolysis of a number of 4-alkynyl-4-(propargyloxy)cyclobutenones is reported. These studies show a remarkable rearrangement to methylenebenzofurans accompanied by remote alkene formation. The mechanism and scope of the reactions are discussed.

A potentially general regiospecific synthesis of benzo- and naphthoquinones is described. This method starts with dimethyl squarate (1), which is converted to the cyclobutenone ketal 3 upon sequential treatment with an organolithium reagent and then BF3 etherate or TFAA in THF/methanol. Treatment of these with a second lithium reagent followed by hydrolysis gives the cyclobutenones 5. Addition of an alkynyl-, alkenyl- or aryllithium agent to 5 followed by hydrolysis of the ketal linkage gives the corresponding 4-alkynyl- 4-alkenyl- or 4-aryl-4-hydroxycyclobutenones 7-9, and these readily rearrange to the respective quinones or hydroquinones upon thermolysis in refluxing benzene. In a similar fashion, 15 was employed as a reagent to prepare mono- and disubstituted hydroquinones and quinones.
